Abstract

Sidaguri plant is a wild and potential plant that is promoted as a good challenging medicinal plant in the future. However, information related to the diversity of these plants in Indonesia has not been widely exposed, and there are several species of this sidaguri found in Indonesia that are still unknown to the public. In this paper, five species of sidaguri which are quite widely grown and used for various traditional medicines in Indonesia, especially in West Sumatra and South Sumatra, will be explored. They were: Sida acuta, Sida rhombifolia, Sida cordifolia, Sida retusa, and Sida scabrida. This study has successfully indicated each species’ different morphology and demonstrated good antioxidant activity against free radicals. The antioxidant activity test results using the TLC Bioautography method show six active spots from each organ. The sample that produces yellowish spots on a purple background on the silica gel plate is an antioxidant compound that is visualized after being sprayed with a DPPH reagent. The root organ showed the most intense antioxidant active spot, which was thought to offer the best activity. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of root organ sidaguri possessed the highest antioxidant activity among the selected organ sidaguri species.
